1 THE TRANSFER OF DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES: L* LESSONS LEARNED FROM SANDIA NATIONAL LABORATORIES John D. McBrayer Sandia National Laboratories Albuquerque, New Mexicol Abstract v-~ -8 m w Sandia National Laboratories has learned through our process of technology transfer that not all high tech transfers are alike. They are not alike by the nature of the customers involved, the process of becoming involved with these customers and finally and most importantly the very nature of the technology itself. Here we focus on technology transfer in the rnicrosystems arena and specifically the sacrificial surface version of rnicrosystems. We have learned and helped others learn that many MEMS applications are best realized through the use of surface rnicromachining (SMM). This is because SMM buiids on the substantial integrated circuit industry. In this paper we review Sandia s process for transferring a disruptive MEMS technology in numerous cases. Introduction Some years ago, Sandia National Laboratories recognized that existing design tools weren t capable of easily creating the SMM MEMS designs needed for internal Sandia customers. So design tools were created around the commercially available mechanical drawing package AutoCAD. This allowed SMM MEMS designers to create designs of interest to Sandia weapon system designers. Working prototypes created excitement and interest. Designers wanted to include these novel devices in their work. Unfortunately, there was no commercial source of such devices. In fact it was recognized that these SMM MEMS devices represented a disruptive technology that Sandia s internal system designers were not about to include in any of their designs, until they were commercially available and in common use. Framework for Sandia Technolow Transfer Process SAMPLES (Sandia s Agile MEMS Prototyping, Layout, Education, and Services) program [] was created as an Infrastructure for Emerging Markets Based on Discontinuous Innovations [2]. In this case the discontinuous innovation is Sandia s Ultra-planar, Multi-level, MEMS Technology (SUMMiT). The SAMPLES program works by teaching interested participants how to use Sandia s layout design tools (education), providing inexpensive MEMS agile prototyping, and offering other services to make each participant successful in realizing their ideas using SUMMiT. With this infrastructure in place many people and organizations began to sign up for the short courses. Participants filled out evaluation surveys after each course that answered questions about participants Sandia is a Multiprogram Laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC04-94AL ,.,..-.._. e.,..,.,....-., -,

4 interests, likes and dislikes. Using this information the educational portion of the SAMPLES program grew from a one-day class to two three-day courses with an optional third, three-day short course on MEMS reliability. It was determined that the majority of short course attendees were using the first short course as a means of becoming familiar with the world of MEMS. This information caused an evolution of the education portion of the SAMPLES program such that Sandia now offers an Introduction to MEMS short course six times a year (- 20 students per class) to accommodate the majority of participants who are mostly interested in general information about MEMS. This course does provide the background for the subset of graduates who wish to take the Advanced Design short course (-2 students work at computer workstations) with the goal of becoming SUMMiT designers. Sandia offers this advanced class three times per year. Another often requested item from the evaluation surveys is to provide more indepth information on the reliability of MEMS. Sandia has meet this request by offering two MEMS Reliability short courses per year (- 20 students). Sign up for these courses is done through Sandia s web site, ~ov []. It was found that additional information and design tools were needed to equip participants with the means to be successful at their first SUMMiT design. This information is provided through licenses and delivered on a CD. When a design is completed participants submit their design over the web. A total of eight participants are included on each monthly SUMMiT run. The real estate each participant owns is called a module. The ninth module contains in-situ and post processing diagnostic structures. These structures allow Sandia to evaluate each lot for reproducibility and tolerances as compared to earlier lots. See Fig.. This is an important feature since it allows Sandia to guarantee a run with little to no knowledge of the participants design. Thus intellectual property issues are easily resolved; Sandia owns the process and the participant owns their design. Each participant receives 00 unreleased modules of their design. Again protecting each participant s intellectual property..; : $& *@;:.< \ *#~@:j $X A,v &&&&@&l#$$%% %4$&# & :.&? *%.,,. &&.&.@3)@:~~J* #$&&#&?&.#&, i n.

Literature Review Infrastructure development for disruptive technologies follows a linear development model, Fig. 2. We attempt with the SAMPLES program to jumpstart technology transfer from Force Fit to a Robust Infrastructure [3-7]. Data and Analysis Sandia has found four basic categories that describe the majority of people and organizations that realize their MEMS designs in SUMMiT: 2 University participants that realize designs as part of their research. Small (as few as five employees) start up companies that have ideas that they think
5 3 4 may replace existing markets or create new ones Large (fortune 500) companies that have similar ideas about replacing or creating new markets Government related organizations that have ideas of using MEMS in niche markets. Force i Fit ~+ Protot+ps: ~ (=s) Market Pull Modifications to + Robust Exkting Processes : Infrwstructnre I Fig. 2: Infrastructure Model for Discontinuous MEMS Innovations. Fig. 3 shows the number of modules created for each of these groups through calendar end 999. It suggests a trend that more MEMS development is being done by smaller companies than larger companies. This trend is even more pronounced if the data is plotted just for the last year, 999. See Fig. 4. At closer examination the MEMS development being done by larger companies seems to have the same value proposition as the smaller companies. Their shared value propositions include the following characteristics:. Creating a business environment that allows quick decisions (,q50 g 40 g , I I t, UniversNies Govemment Small Large Business Bush3ss Fig. 3: Modules fabricated for the major categories that have realized designs in SUMMiT since 993. Government does not include the modules created from within the MEMS technology development department.. Targeting applications that may seem to compete with existing technology but, if successful, may very well make the existing technology obsolete.. Willing to take on more risk than conventional business enterprises. While SMM MEMS developers share these characteristics, there is much dissimilarity as well. For example, larger companies tend to purchase more services than smaller companies. Such services include design, engineering, and testing. As well as interest in licensing existing intellectual property. Larger companies may have setup business plans to allow for quick decisions but the smaller companies are even quicker. On the other hand larger businesses may have deeper pockets which allow them to delay go, no-go decisions, which in turn allows them to analyze more data. 3 i Sma II Business Large Business Fig 4: Number of modules purchased by small and large businesses in 999. j i I
6 , Conclusions Sandia National Laboratories believes that the SAMPLES program is a successful and efficient infrastructure for aiding and 4 enhancing the introduction of disruptive technologies. The program can boast of 5 over 500 Introduction to MEMS short course graduates, over 30 Advanced Design short course graduates, and a growing 6 number of external module submissions each month. Another metric of success is the increasing number of companies that are coming to Sandia for complete SMM 7 MEMS solutions. As the SAMPLES infrastructure evolves Sandia is finding more and more interest in realizing the full potential of its SMM technologies. The existing infrastructure is allowing people and organizations to inexpensively enter the exciting arena of micros ystems. Full commercialization of Sandia s MEMS technologies awaits the availability of a production foundry where volume production of the many great MEMS ideas can be made and the full potential of low cost MEMS is introduced into the market place. 3 Bower, J.
